Two open house meetings scheduled for Monday will allow the public an opportunity to share with city leaders ideas and suggestions on the city of Peoria's 2009 budget.

The first meeting will run from 10 a.m. to noon at Exposition Gardens, 1601 W. Northmoor Road. The second is from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Peoria City/County Health Department, 2116 N. Sheridan Road.

The meetings will give people a chance to review the operating and capital budgets, ask City Council members and staff questions and provide input on spending priorities.

The council began talks about the 2009 budget earlier this month. A special meeting to discuss the city's capital spending plan scheduled for Tuesday was canceled because of a lack of a quorum. A new meeting time is set for Tuesday, Aug. 5.
